A broad federal funding freeze announced by the Trump administration last week is destabilizing a wide range of programs.

Head Start programs in 27 states have felt these sporadic funding freezes, many of them still feeling it.

Community health centers in at least nine states over the past few days have also been blocked from accessing and being able to get their funding.

Lisa Desjardins : There's a universe of programs that are concerned about grants and ultimate funding.

She says the funding freeze is affecting many of those programs who have had funding restored.

Trump allies have said that's the kind of program that they want to look at.

Meanwhile, there are problems in funding elsewhere, including mental health programs, some substance abuse programs.
